World's longest national highway - the Trans Canada Highway Victoria British Columbia to St. Johns Newfoundland 4990 miles.

World's longest street, Yonge Street Toronto Canada 1178 miles.

America's shortest interstate, I 535 2.78 miles.

Incidentally the speed limit on the 401 and other Canadian highways may be 100Km hr or 62.5MPH but you can drive 120 or 80MPH with no difficulty and practically no chance of getting a ticket. I do it all the time along with everyone else on the road.

The cops up here use tickets as a means of enforcing road safety not a revenue source. As long as traffic is flowing smoothly and you are not driving like a nut they leave you alone.
